As Aid Situation Worsens, Displaced Sudanese Worry About Warnings of Famine

Aisha Adam, 50, fled fighting between Sudan’s army and the Rapid Support Forces in Khartoum in April 2023 before finding refuge at a displacement camp in Port Sudan with her orphaned grandson and nephew. Relocated in June to a centre on the city’s outskirts, she says aid has fallen significantly and she must seek work to feed the two children. The war has reportedly killed as many as 200,000 people and displaced 13 million, while famine has taken hold in parts of the country. On October 27, the US Department of State warned that food conditions were deteriorating.
